Lies of P Beginner's Guide: Everything You Need to Know

[@mastergecko1178]

I don’t wanna be one of those people who just spam “dodge is actually good” in the chat but you can actually make it work if you lower your equipment load to below 30%. You get longer i frames and dodge animation even without any p-organ upgrades. It’s amazing how well it works on some aggressive bosses.

[@geroffmilan3328]

This 👆 I'm consciously playing at just under the 60% weight mark, but when I experimented with throwing the lightweight frame, liner etc on I could see a noticeable difference.

[@lunarrae]

it absolutely made a difference. almost night and day. i felt so clunky before then realized i was slightly heavy.

[@JoyTuub]

Ya I agree with this, I have a really hard time going back to anything heavier.

[@charlesqbanks]

True... but that's a problem. You shouldn't be punished with a bad dodge for having moderate weight. You don't start off light weight, so why would any noob expect they have to drop all heavy weapons and parts, and max out capacity just to get a good dodge? It basically makes the game a capacity grind, and parts being heavy means every build ends up being a glass cannon, i.e. no build variety.

[@geroffmilan3328]

@@charlesqbanks sounds like you're bending all your effort towards dodge spamming instead of engaging with the perfect guard. I was crap at PG initially, yet I just beat The Nameless Puppet on NG+ using precisely that mechanic. With the heaviest gear, still moderate weight and still managing to get dodge s via well-judged usage rather than trying to make it the go-to defensive mechanic. And FYI my eyes are bad enough to be registered blind - so if I can do it, anyone can, and if they don't want to, that's the same as saying "I need a journalist mode" imo.

[@mcLOVINdonalds]

This is my first "souls like" game, and i couldnt suck anymore at perfect guard/ parry. However, i just try my best to learn the move sets and then dodge roll into the swings, if he swings from left - dodge left etc. Its not that simple, BUT it works for me! Granted im only just passed the Mad Donkey, but every enemy ive fought has been sub 10 tries! Again, this is my 1st "souls like" game!

[@pcdeltalink036]

Honestly, sub 10 tries for your first souls like and what is, imo, a pretty dang hard souls like is actually really good. Sekiro is a really good similar souls like where the emphasis is on perfect blocking rather than dodging but I gotta say if you can manage the timings in this game Sekiro will feel way easier than this.

[@matthewjaredcox9753]

I've played all the souls games. I suck at parry. Never let anyone tell you that you need to "get gud." That is bullshit. The devs made it hard on purpose so that only a few people can actually do it. This game demanding players do it will probably lead to lower sales numbers.

[@patrickbutler87]

this is my first souls-like game as well. I played og Dark Souls a little bit when it first came out, but never gave it much time. I've avoided them for years, but for some reason Lies of P has totally grabbed me. It's finally clicked and I'm obsessed. And now I'm excited to try some of the older souls games too

[@Noneyobusiness851]

If you've been playing souls games you're going to have a rough time making the adjustment Dodge roll is not the way to go in this game You're basically forced to constantly parry and I hope they nerf it a bit because the windows are very small and the timing changeups are pretty tricky

[@pcdeltalink036]

It's like Sekiro where the game expects perfect guards/parrys instead of dodging but with much tighter timings. I'm only about 4 bosses in so far and the perfect guard window makes Sekiro feel like a cakewalk.

[@kenethernandez6246]

You can role but it shouldn't be your go to although it is very good in multiple situations. Just make sure you are below 60% weight for your dodges to be good.

[@kenethernandez6246]

Also guys this is pretty late but there is a type of handle that gives you an ability called perfect defense. It uses 1 fable every time you use the ability but it let's you perfect guard an attack by putting you in a stance for roughly 1 second. It makes it extremely easy to perfect guard red attacks or any attacks that give you trouble.

[@shby95]

Sekiro and Bloodborne have brought a child into the world. Praise be

[@maxjensenjames9622]

So stoked for this video just started playing and need all the help I can get

[@skatemobster]

I just want to let you know and im sure you already know but this game is hard and if you stick with it and learn the mechanics it's so frickin fun. Yeah you get your ass kicked most of the time playing it but when you taste victory beating a boss you've tried beating for a period time it's such a awesome feeling. Enjoy man!

[@erik-sr9bj]

​@@skatemobsterI've never played a souls like game, this is my first one. I've only reached the police watchman boss, so far it's very challenging but the adrenaline kick I get from beating a boss with only a sliver of HP is amazing haha. Hope I can finish this game though

[@MillerTheOriginal]

Had no idea you covered this type of game. You guided me into the more single player games I play nowadays (more specifically MHW) so I appreciate this. As this is my first souls like game I'm running through it without seeing any guides/tips videos and so far it is unreal

[@jusafuto]

I just started the game and have been figuring things out on my own but was curious to know if someone had done one of these. I really like the way you deliver the information. It’s very concise and to the point.

[@GameBooAdvancePlus]

If you're doing advance build you gotta work in Fable Arts and Legion Arm usage into your playstyle. The early game advance weapons usually have a damage buff fable art that give a DRASTIC boost to your damage like holy moley the difference is immediately noticable. Your legion arms become very good as well depending how you like the play because 4 of them scale off your advance. Personally I used the flame one for crowd control and the spark one for quick damage, and later in the game the acid one becomes extremely useful for *reasons*.

Thank you for the help. I've been excited for this game, played the demo, but they're was things I didn't understand. I just wanted to thank you for explaining some of the aspects of this game.

[@geroffmilan3328]

This game is great so far. Elements of it are frustrating - but that's the hallmark of the genre. Dodge is fine, game just - rightly - makes it so you can't play heavy AND dodge-spam. Partying window is very tight, but you get used to it with practice - again, par for the course. Overall, well pleased with the purchase, and for Xbox there's Game Pass.

[@rurikhan]

20 hours in and the parrying still hasn’t clicked for me. Also the dodge thing isn’t about weight, even on the lightest weight it feels funky.

[@yoichisena6583]

fire always make me die lol

[@geroffmilan3328]

@@rurikhan very similar time here - 19hrs - and I'm not trying to say it's Sekiro, but I have definitely got better with the perfect guard. Would be awesome if they took CB's suggestion on increasing that window though, without a doubt. Did you do that dodge testing with weight below 30%? I see a real difference between the break points, wonder what could make it feel different for you. Of course I'm actually playing just under the 60% break point, cos I'm a coward & want to be more tanky 😁 but it does seem like those willing to play in a light frame using e.g. the dagger might have some fun. I think boss fights would be torture though: "death of a thousand cuts" scenario.

[@geroffmilan3328]

@@yoichisena6583 those huge mechs - I mean, "puppets" - in the Venigni factory that use fire are pure pain. And the skinny muppets throwing thermite are cancer when there's more than one. I'm just hoping they didn't put some kind of "bonewheel" in here 🫣

[@july_inkz]

Thank you for these tips

[@ow10661]

Someone help out a noob, on the Physical Attack stat it’s 100 + 17, does this mean each attach does 117 damaged? What does the + mean? Cheers

[@kenethernandez6246]

Kinda late but yes that's what it means. The 100 is the normal weapon damage and the 17 extra is what you get from the weapon scaling. So for example, if the weapon has a C rating in technique and you have 6 points invested in technique those 6 points will grant your weapon extra damage represented as the + 17 you see. So in total you are indeed doing 117 overall damage based on the weapon's damage plus extra damage based on your character's stats. Also the higher the weapon scaling the higher damage you will do with the stats you have. So a B scaling weapon will do more than a C scaling weapon in technique or motivity. You can also increase the weapon's scaling with a crank. For example, if the weapon has a C scaling for Motivity and you alter the handle using a Motivity crank it will go to B scaling which will somewhat boost your damage.

[@Rocky0Road]

Thanks for the detailed outline of the game

[@123AFTERMATH]

Game is Fun, hands down. Can be frustrating at times. But once you find the right weapon and skill set for certain enemies and bosses you do have an advantage. Some are weak to fire, some are weak to heavy Blunt weapons as well.

[@billh2567]

[@jacoblinde8110]

Btw laxasia and nameless are the hardest bosses im not saying the full name but they are melania from elden ring level hard.

[@jonathanngo7452]

The only red attack I've felt comfortable parrying / perfect guarding is that boxing dummy lol, I think I got a few off on parade master too, but this game is definitely an adjustment back to Sekiro days

[@kenethernandez6246]

Look for a weapon handle among your weapons with an ability called perfect defense. It puts you in a stance for around 1 second that automatically perfect parries any attack. It makes a lot of bosses way easier to deal with. It also just consumes 1 fable.

[@GameQuestUK]

Do the bosses' health pool increase when you use spectres in a boss fight?

[@pcdeltalink036]

Not that I can tell, no. And while I think you can upgrade them later on in some fashion at base stats spectres seem pretty dang fragile. They can definitely pull aggro a bit but they are certainly not going to solo a boss for you and I haven't had one last long at all once the boss actually dedicates real focus to them.

Am I missing something? Perfect blocks seem like they should be better blocks, but I don't seem to get any regain on a perfect block. Do you only get regain for health lost during the block?

I'm pretty sure that when you hit a perfect block you don't lose any health or stamina, so that's why you don't regain.

[@kenethernandez6246]

​@earthenavenger7376 For consistent parries no but definitely for a few parries during hard to block or evade attacks. You can use a weapon handle that gives you absolute defense. When using the ability it let's you perfect parry any attack within a 1 second window more or less which is 10 times more generous than the normal window for parries. If you really have a lot of trouble parrying I suggest you pair that handle with a heavy blade than can block a lot of damage and mainly try blocking attacks and regaining health back by attacking. Then for the red attacks or any other hard to block attack you can use perfect defense. This way of playing is extremely effective especially if you invest in your p organ abilities that allow you to regain more health from guard regain along with other skills of that sort.

[@earthenavenger7376]
